Euro Credit

Alpha by control

Our approach

Investment-grade euro credit can provide income, stability and diversification within fixed income portfolios. As a core allocation, it can help anchor portfolios through changing market conditions while offering lower risk than higher-yielding areas of the credit market.

Alpha by control is our team-based approach to investing, combining active top-down and bottom-up analysis with ESG integration, within a strict risk framework. This defensive, risk- focused strategy is implemented across the credit cycle but we believe it performs best during periods of increased volatility and dispersion. We focus on downside protection, disciplined portfolio construction and consistent outcomes through the cycle.

There’s a saying in Dutch, Kom verder, it means many things and it’s our business philosophy. It captures the way we work with clients but also the way we steer our investee companies to deliver shareholder value through active engagement.

Capital at risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise, and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Past performance provides no guarantee for the future.
